Liverpool continue to fluctuate in form in the Premier League, with Jurgen Klopp’s side losing 4-1 to champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Liverpool have fewer and fewer chances to qualify for the Champions League

After 27 matches, “Liverpool” is in 8th place in the Premier League with 42 points.

The Cormorants could not overcome last season’s shock defeat to Bournemouth and were beaten by the reigning champions in a disappointing performance from Jurgen Klopp’s side.

After the setback at the Etihad Stadium, Jurgen Klopp spoke about his side’s performance and was quite fiery in his expression.

“The first half was one I’ve only seen a few times when I’ve played here at the Etihad. City always have more possession, but we also had periods where we dominated this section.

But how we achieved the goals is hard to accept. I didn’t attack the ball in any of them. This is absolutely unacceptable. We let them do whatever they wanted, we were lucky they didn’t have a better day.

We are lucky that they scored so many goals, we are grateful to them. The game could have been different, and that’s bad for us.” – concluded Jurgen Klopp, reports Mirror.co.uk.

Liverpool are currently 7 points off the 4th spot that leads into the UEFA Champions League, currently held by Tottenham Hotspur.

Also, Newcastle are serious contenders for 4th place, 2 points behind Tottenham Hotspur and also two in arrears.
